Hi everyone,
just a quick post to explain how we have spent some of your very generously donated money.
For the last 2 weeks we have been volunteering in a tiny little school about 30k out of Cusco. It has 16 students and 2 teachers.
I have explained a little about the school in a previous blog- it has limited funding so reuses everything. Composts food waste, makes curtains from old clothes and chairs from bottles. About 18 months ago the town below the school was totally flooded and its 200 inhabitants moved into the school. They totally wrecked the place, destroying the gardens, showers and tolets so for the past 6 months the students and teachers have been rebuilding it little by little with the help of volunteers like us!
It has taken 2 weeks to dig a veggie patch, mainly due to the blazing heat and altitude! We have donated 300 soles (about 75 quid) to buy veggies and tools to help the students grow their own food. I will post the photos asap- THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED MONEY!
Off to Arequipa now to do some sight-seeing.
